Morning Joe & The Fruitcake Man
This morning on MSNBC's Morning Joe, Rudy Giuliani's new Christmas ad "Same Gift" was treated to a royal razzing by Scarborough, Geist, and Brzezinski, not once but twice, so incredulous were they at what they were seeing. "It must be a spoof"..."This can't be serious"..."That was actually an SNL sketch. Do we have the real ad?" No such luck.

Giuliani: ...and probably a fruit cake or something.
Q: A fruit cake?
Giuliani: What? It'll be a really nice fruit cake with a big red bow on it. Or something like that.
And you know things are bad when Mike Huckabee can come on, from his own odious Christmas ad of a few days earlier and mock Giuliani. At least Huckabee didn't descend into self-parody.
I wanna throw a rock at my TV every time I see his commercial. "I am not loyal to any party". BULLSHIT!!!!!!
Shouldn't Joe be doing the MSNBC weather by now?
It may have been a razzing, but they also spent a ton of time
covering this thing.
Wash, Rinse and Repeat.......
Giuliani is not long for this race, check this one out :)
Randi Rhodes and Greg Palast Hunt Giuliani’s Favorite Vulture
I don't think Larry Craig is going to like wearing that big red bow.
...and where is he going to wear it?
I can hear the same banter on the local FM (clear channel) radio DJ show. This is not news. This is entertainment. Come on folks. Our troops are fighting and dying, and congress just gave more money for more fighting and more dying.
Maybe he can fault the striking writers.
Fruitcake? This just in:
WASHINGTON - The U.S. House Wednesday approved a $556 billion bill to fund most of the federal government through September 2008, ending a year-long budget fight with President Bush by also including new money for the Iraq war.
The House gave final congressional approval to the bill that was cleared by the Senate late on Tuesday. It now goes to Bush for his expected approval.
As a prisoner of the war on Christmas I belive this Ad violates my rights under the Geneva convention as torture.
Wow, that ad was so very, very lame...
There are no words . . .
Merry September and a happy new 11th!
.................and to think your country is the leader of the free world.
What an embarrassment you've become in the last seven years.
And to think this fucking arsehole (asshole) to you has even a 1% chance of becoming resident.
I shudder in the UK to think of the carnage your country can heap on the rest of the world before Shrub is removed.
I say..... Gore/Feingold.
I'm way too smart to watch that. Giuliani doing Christmas sounds about as appealing as an hour of video of a constipated Jonah Goldberg trying to drop a load. I think I'd rather watch Jonah if not given the choice to scratch out my eyes first.
Every candidate in the GOP field is a complete Bozo. If any of those guys become president we are in even more trouble than we are now. Watching them debate is like watching a cut from "One Flew Over the Coo-Coos Nest".
Hey Rudy! It is time to stick a fork in it. You are officially done!
We all know you are a fruit cake Rudy. But to advertise it? OUCH!!!
Fruitcake!
God this is painful. To hear such a blowhard try to act like he's a giving person and so forth. Giuliani scares me
Thufferin' Thuckatash!
That wath a pathethtic advertithmenth! Tho thad, tho thad...
Theptember Eleventhh! Theptember Eleventhh!
A thafe America!
Ith thpecial!
all rudy wants for christmass is his douchbag patched !
Rudy wished everyone "Happy Holidays".
Bill'O and the Foxies must be lovin' THAT! :)
ConcernedCanuck @ 8:
Not to put too fine a point on it, but we're fvcked!
Rudy should'a just redone "dick in a box" instead.....
With Judith smiling face happily opening Rudy's present box?
That would have won him more votes then this turd-burger!
But, hey, is that Bernie Kerik in that Santa Suit?
I'm surprised Huckabee's staffers didn't object to him being referred to as 'The Fruitcake Man', accurate though it was.
The more DIRT that comes out about the guy , the sillier he gets as if the only way he can handle all his scandals is to laugh them off and we know Kerik got a lot out of his relationship with RG , but we haven't got the dirt about what did He get from Kerik . I suspect it's worst than anything we heard about him so far .
Don't tell Judith.....
He's trying to out-Huckabee the Huckabee, in a used-car salesman type of way.
ConcernedCanuck @ 8:
And so ends the prospect of Reid and Pelosi delivering on their promises to end the Iraq War. Too many Pussy-crats in the Dem party. Pussy-crats who fall for every feint and bluff.
Rudy said "Happy holidays!" Why does rudy hate christians and christmas?
Yeah uh Rudy?
Huckabee called he wants his sweater back.
Oh and he's also like to know why you cut the sleeves off.

*in my beststs lissssps* "I'm rudy ghouliani, & I'm getting everyone the same thing for Christmas: A police state, a tracking microchip in your right hand, a trip to the Tombs, a one way ticket out of NYC for all minorities (so I only have to rule rich whites), eminent domain, a plunger in every rectum, 47 shots to the back of your head, & visitation rights so you can look at the Constitution one day a year."
Where I come from politicians cant advertise on TV. All american political ads looks like bad SNL spoofs to me. I dont see how anyone can take them seriously. Is this a real ad or a spoof?
Rudolph, the red-vested candidate
Had a very shiny head
And if he gets elected
We'll all be better off dead...
As it turns out, I don't like any of the gifts Guilliani wants to give me - so many of them look great in the store, but when you get them out of the box they're shoddily constructed and you end up paying more in repairs than it would have been to get it done right in the first place.
That said, obviously something wrong with me, because it's the first thing Guilliani's done I found likeable. Not that I'm going to vote for the man, but it's such an obvious parody of Huckabee's playing to the fundamentalist base of the party, I don't mind it.
I don't entirely understand the 'off with his head' attitude.
I didn't think the ad was that bad, and felt the razzing was overdone. Personally, I would've gotten rid of the underused Santa next to Giuliani, and had the mayor himself wear the santa suit while promising things like "fiscal discipline" and "strict constructionist judges". Trust me; I know advertising.
Assassin @ 37:
The chances that the Giuliani campaign ever lets him anywhere near out in public in costume are pretty much zero. Giuliani dressed as Santa would mean an entire week of Giuliani dressed in drag playing on cable news.
Nothing is more deadly for a politician than to be ridiculed in this way.
I think they all overreacted to the point of being a parody, themselves, even if it was a ridiculous ad.
As for Ghouliani, put a pic of him in that red vest on a Christmas card, and title it "The Nightmare Before Christmas." Good grief, what were they thinking?
Assassin @ 37:
Sure you do. We all want a buffoon for a President.
Donnie Deutsch, who does know advertising (see the clip above), couldn't believe what he was seeing either.
The Ghoul is even more repulsive when he tries to be likable.
"Fruitcake Rudy" will go down in history as one of the WORST POLITICAL ADs OF ALL TIME.
I can't stop laughing! Rudy, trying to act all warm and fuzzie, comes off like a shyster-used-car-salesman. Then, of all things, he wants to give EVERYBODY a FRUITCAKE!
LAUGH... OUT... LOUD!!
He might as well just dressed up like Marie Antoinett... and said something like, "I promise you all a piece OF CAKE!" He would have looked and sounded just as rediculous.
Fruitcake! Good God, man... NOBODY WANTS FRUITCAKE!
Didn't you know that? Where's your head?
Every time you think this election season can't get any more bizarre, something like this comes along. The sweater would have been enough to sink this thing but the fruitcake business really finished it off. Why would Rudy actually pay for an ad that reinforces (several times) the Rudy-fruitcake connection?
Toward the end of that "ad" Rudy! looked like he was doing some kind of weird, lame ass Joe Pesci impersonation. That was one strange ad.
If Rudy needs some more fruit cakes, he should stop by crooksandliars.com.
Rudy needs to hang up the spikes
Rudy helps prove that self centered Retardlicans can't do humor for shit. That was about as funny as a case of hemorrhoids.
[Deleted. Off topic-Sitemonitor]
Duhhhhhh!!!!!, "Thats all I have to say about this jack ass"!
Vote Giuliani, and give America a really big fruitcake.
This was the best!
I couldn't stop laughing... ok evetually I could.
But, just the best.
.
There's just nothing.

Nothing...

Nothing left
Cowboy Bob in Austin @ 43:
I just have to agree...
Nobody wants a FUCKIN' FRUITCAKE!!!
Funny how the GOPer psychos can describe bankrupting the nation with debt in order to finance ruinous wars and provide corporate welfare that exceeds all dreams of greed and avarice "fiscal responsibility".
Strange how they can label the process of subverting, corrupting and destroying an independent judicial system by populating the benches with anti-Constitutional ideologues who are dedicated only to concepts of injustice as "appointing strict constructionists".
Odd how they can describe turning America into a repressives police state of ubiquitous law enforcement, wherein we are no longer proud citizens but rather cowering, fearful subjects as seeing to a "safe America".
Positively Orwellian how they can call turning our borders into a sites that keep you in instead of some nebulous boogey-man out as "providing secure borders".
Insteresting how they can describe shipping any job the creates genuine wealth overseas as "providing jobs". Jobs for whom?
Curious how they can describe plundering the assets of the People or destroying the middle class in order to enrich a tiny handful of elites, while at the same time abandoning all committment to the well-being of our future society as assuring "low taxes".
Weird how they always manage to describe their sins as if they were virtues and their crimes as if they were acts of civic heroism.
Santa doesn't like that.
Seeing Rudy sitting by the Christmas tree reminds me how much he looks like Ebineezer Scrooge.
What a scumbag. What a fruitcake.
Russ Mason UK @ 13:
Russ,
America is no longer the leader of the free world. That position requires moral authority. Today, Bush and the neocons/conservatives, together with the invaluable aide and complicity of a morally ruderless Democratic Party, have reduced us to the status of being the only rogue nation of consequence on the planet. I would stronly suggest that the rest of you in the world unite against us. For you own protection.
Speaking of the media and fruitcakes, last night's CBS evening news featured Katie Couric's continuing 'in depth, personal' interviews with presidential candidates.
Wow, talk about getting to the heart of the campaign issues, last night 'lil Katie concentrated on the pressing issue of 'infidelity'.
Don't miss tonight's show, when she's going to determine whether the candidates masturbate as frequently as she does.
Tomorrow night?! Do they pick their noses, secretly, as she does?
Oh man, that was just........horrible.
HO, HO , HO
THEY'RE ALL MY CHRISTMAS HO'S
(ho, ho, bitch)
That picture...
For a moment I though America's Mayor was treating Osama Bin Laden to eggnog
(9-11)
"Vote for Ron Paul"
Joe must have been sober this morning, when he's not threatening Mika Brezenski with her job.
Willie Geist is a kinder, gentler version of Imus' sidekick, Bernard McJerk (who's with him and the two House Negroes he's employed on ABC Radio).
I miss seeing David Shuster and Mika tag-team his ass when Willie was on vacation...I haven't watched "Morning Woe" since.

But not until I relocate there first. Will have passport by the first of the year.
WHY IS NO ONE COMMENTING ON HUCKABEE'S saying of RUDY "he is a FRUITCAKE." in my vernacular as i'm sure his too "fruitcake"="fag" i would say fruitcake=gay but fruitcake is perjorative. huckabee shouldn't be able to go on national television and get away with calling his major competitor by a pejorative term for group that is descriminated against.
Was that Giuliani? Looked more like Abe Vigoda to me . . .
